ACEing Autism is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization. We are looking for caring, energetic people to volunteer one hour each Saturday morning to help teach the game of tennis to children with autism.It's an amazing opportunity to bring health, fitness, and smiles to kids on a Saturday morning. Watching these athletes progress their tennis and social skills will be one of the most rewarding parts of your weekend.
All types of volunteers are welcome-we ask that you come with a smile, words of positive affirmation, and a hand ready to high-five. It is a chance for you as a volunteer to gain valuable experience helping children on the autism spectrum improve their social skills and physical fitness. Knowing how to play tennis is not a prerequisite to volunteering!

Description
ACEing Autism was founded in 2008 by Richard Spurling and Dr. Shafali Jeste in Boston, MA, where the first location at The Longfellow Club was launched in Wayland MA with 15 children with autism. Since 2008, ACEing autism has grown into a vibrant volunteer organization across American, and currently serves over 1,000 youth and adults through our 63 program locations in 25 states and 3 countries.
ACEing Autism is a 501c3 non profit organization that makes tennis accessible for children with autism through specially designed tennis clinics that use tennis as a means to enhance health and fitness, hand-eye coordination, motor development, and improved social skills. Participants are paired one-on-one with a youth volunteer, and participate in 6-8 week sessions in a group setting.
